When I start my car, it shakes, even more so if I try to accelerate. There is a manual gearbox in the car. Upon startup the engine is revving so I don't have to apply the gas and I can go through the gears up to third gear. When the car is warmed up, everything is as usual and the car runs fine after a while. What could be the cause of these issues?
